A DRAMATIC "supermoon" lit up the Thurrock skies overnight.
Stargazers took images of the spectacular ‘supermoon’ overnight. The phenomenon means the moon – which is classified as a ‘perigee moon’ by astronomers – appears bigger and brighter than usual because of its proximity to the earth.
Some were lucky enough to also see the Perseid meteor shower which is caused by the Swift-Tuttle comet shedding part of its celestial body and leaving behind a trail of dust.
